Ingredients

Directions

Special equipment:
cheesecloth or a sachet bag; a pasta roller; a panini press
  1. Combine the canola oil and olive oil in a saucepan. Make a sachet with the fennel seeds, peppercorns, garlic, bay leaves, star anise, rosemary, sage and thyme, then add to the oil. Heat to 225 degrees F or until bubbling, then cut the heat and allow to rest for 12 hours.
  2. Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.
  3. Cut the tomatoes into 1-inch pieces. Toss with the sugar, 1 tablespoon herb oil and 2 teaspoons salt. Spread on a sheet pan. Roast for 1 hour 15 minutes.
  4. In a saucepan, heat up the butter until bubbling, stirring constantly, until the butter begins to brown on the bottom. Turn off the heat and add the shallot, lemon juice and 1 teaspoon salt. Transfer to a mixing bowl. Rest over ice. Whisk until it starts to cool off. Add the tarragon, then whisk until cold. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste.
  5. Combine the 00 flour, semolina flour, eggs and egg yolks and 2 teaspoons salt in a mixing bowl with a fork. Fully incorporate the flour into the eggs, then transfer to a wooden table. Knead 230 times, then wrap with plastic wrap. Allow to rest at room temperature for at least 3 hours or up to 5 hours.
  6. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin, then fold the dough up and press it down. Repeat at least 6 times. Cut the dough into a shape that will fit the pasta roller. Roll through the pasta roller in decreasing increments of thickness until slightly translucent. Cut into a tagliatelle shape.
  7. Brush the mushrooms with the herb oil. Season with salt and pepper. Cook on a panini press. Cook the tagliatelle in salted water until tender. Mix with the tarragon butter, roasted tomato, pasta water, Parmigiano-Reggiano, pea shoots and parsley. Top with more Parmesan, parsley and breadcrumbs. Add the mushrooms. Finish with truffle oil.

Cook’s Note

Leftover herb oil is great for anything: salad dressings, marinades, aioli. Leftover tarragon butter is great on toast.
